Server Not Found. Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at longboardcruiserspt.free.nf
Other Information
I can access the Control Panel from within InfinityFree with no problem, just not the site itself. However if I use a VPN connection I can see the site. I’ve also tested https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/longboardcruiserspt.free.nf?proto=https and it’s working fine, so I believe something is blocking just my WAN IP.
With VPN connection I can see/login on everything. Without VPN (just my regular internet connection) I can log into InfinityFree, but the site says “Server Not Found”.
NOTE: I have in total 3 accounts (sites), and the other 2 accounts I access them fine, it’s just this longboardcruiserspt.free.nf IP 185.27.134.57 that it seems to be blocking my WAN IP…
It is something on your end that is blocking your access. It may be a program o your computer, router-level DNS configuration or firewall rules, or a block at the ISP level.
That doesn’t really help because that online tool does a traceroute from the server powering centralops.net, not your own network.
Which distro? If it’s an Ubuntu or Debian-based distribution, you should be able to install the traceroute utility from APT and then use it with this command in the terminal: traceroute longboardcruiserspt.free.nf
True, but it can still be helpful in this situation, as the connection being blocked at the network level or by the ISP would still terminate before even getting to the web server.
$ traceroute longboardcruiserspt.free.nf
longboardcruiserspt.free.nf: Name or service not known
Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `longboardcruiserspt.free.nf' on position 1 (argc 1)
With VPN connection:
$ traceroute longboardcruiserspt.free.nf

That would usually indicate a DNS issue. You may want to try flushing your DNS cache. If that doesn’t work, you should try switching to a different DNS provider, such as Cloudflare’s public DNS resolver. If that doesn’t work, your ISP is likely blocking the domain name or IP address for some reason, in which case using a VPN will likely be the most productive way around that.
You can also try doing a traceroute on your site’s IP address directly (185.27.134.57) which should look something like this:
I can now confirm that it is indeed a DNS provider issue, more precisely a quad9.net “block”… here are the results of my tests:
With my Internet Provider’s DNS: site accessible
With Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4): site accessible
With CloudFlare’s DNS (1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1): site accessible With Quad9’s DNS (9.9.9.9,149.112.112.112): site inaccessible
Can anyone please try to temporary switch to Quad9’s DNS and confirm the site is being blocked for you too?
It seems that free.nf is blocked at Quad9 or one of the filters they use. One of Quad9’s features is that they implement filters to protect you from bad sites. The downside of any such filters is that they can inadvertently block good sites.
I have submitted a request with the underlying filter to get this adjusted.
